You'll love the new Oceans 13 movie. Brad Pitt wears this watch. There's several really good shots of it too!

Agreed! I would love an all-gold Rolex, too.

For me there is either STEEL or (Yellow) GOLD

I tried on a gold GMT at my AD prior to buying my TT GMT.
It is a huge chunk of 18K.
Fortunately it had the green dial, had it been the black dial I might have had a problem.
My DD feels like a very small Rolex in comparison.

I Don't Like It , It's a sort of a edited Watch !

Alex, this will not be tolerated. Thankfully, Paul is tolerant and well mannered and I applaud him in the stance he took on your statement. But, one more post like this, and your time here will be short lived.

It's like my thirteen year old nephew, he uses all the "biatch" street talk.

You can't clip the little twats around the ear these days either.

I've tried it on for 10 minutes while waiting for a courier to bring my new TT GMT II from a AD branch across town. They did it on purpose, can't get it off my mind, and can't quite fit it in the budget. Retails at 144.000 danish crowns 25700 $US with a 9% discount possible for some.
It's incredibly nice.

Can't quite figure out who can wear that watch though??

Cant be a faggot,since he is a self proclaimed tosser,it means he has to help himself ........

Criticism is good,I do so myself and it just remains a personal opinion and in large its a purpose of this forum,but words like faggot will offend most, when mentioned in context of their Rolex watch,whether innocently implied or not.Tactful expression of thought may prove more positive

To be fair to young Alex he is only 12 or 13 and does not necessarily know the potential offence that someone may take to the term.
